A personal blog about quilting, sewing and life as a mother. Lots of free tutorials including beginning quilting tutorials, binding tutorials, and other sewing projects like bags, quilt blocks and nursing covers.

Let’s have a party!

International Quilt Market (aka: just “MARKET” in quilt world lingo). Have you been? Me either. But this spring it is coming to my home town, Salt Lake City. I am so excited to check out this vast realm of fabric overload.

And because there are so many fun bloggers who seem to show-up when Market hits town, not to mention the vast number of quilty-sewy-crafty bloggers in Utah, some of us local gals (Calli from Make It Do and Nanette from Freda’s Hive) decided it would be a great excuse to have a quilt-blogger’s shin-dig where everyone could meet-up in one place and talk to people in real life. (As I’ve been looking at venues I explained to one staff about the idea of hosting a ‘blogger’s meet-up’ and they assumed it would be a bunch of people sitting at computers blogging the whole time. NO! We blog at home, when we see each other in person we gab! and eat! and everyone has a camera.)If you’re a local or you’re going to be in town for Spring Market we would love to meet-up with YOU. We are planning the event for the evening of Saturday, May 14 in downtown Salt Lake. More details to follow, but we want you to save the date now. You can keep abreast of the details at the Quilt Market Meetup Blog. If you’re coming, link your blog to the bottom of the page there – it will be fun to see who can come! And it’s not limited to people who have a blog themselves – come if you like to read blogs too!

What a super cool idea. I am so jealous – I live at the bottom of the world… literally – NZ is so far away… maybe one day I&#39;ll make it to Market though 😉 I&#39;ll look forward to vicariously experiencing Market through your blogposts 😉

I would love to go, but can&#39;t…. but my patterns will be there! The distributor that represents my pattern line, along with many other pattern lines, will be there. Look for Quilt Doodle Designs at the Pattern Peddler booth….
